浅议治安管理处罚的程序适用

在治安管理处罚程序上,《公安机关办理行政案件程序规定》与《治安管理处罚法》存在一些不一致甚至是相冲突的地方,如回避、送达、简易程序、调查和暂缓执行拘留等。在执法实践中,公安机关及其人民警察应当遵循后者的有关规定。同时公安部应尽快对前者加以修订。     

未决诉讼中民事管辖权的冲突与协调

当同一案件由不同国家的法院分别受理的时候,就会产生管辖权的冲突。为解决未决诉讼中管辖权的冲突,世界各国采取了不同的方法,主要有先受理法院管辖、发布外国法院禁诉令、中止内国诉讼、当事人选择审判法院、前后诉继续进行等。根据国际法原理和民事诉讼法基本理论,对各种方法的利弊进行了分析,认为解决未决诉讼中管辖权冲突的方法应该采用先受理法院管辖原则,并辅之以专属管辖原则和不方便法院原则。     

论劳动的分离及其现实意义

随着生产力的发展,劳动形态发生了三次较大的历史性分离。分离的结果,是劳动形态的多元化。多元化的劳动归源于人类的活劳动,活劳动是价值创造的终极来源。这对于坚持和发展劳动价值论具有十分重要的现实意义。     

论中国区际法律冲突

当前,中国各法域之间的法律冲突应属于区际法律冲突,结合其特点,用实体法规则方法与冲突法规则方法解决中国区际法律冲突各有其利弊和可能性,但中国目前应由各个法域自行制定各自的区际冲突法规则。     

Intersectoral differences in public affairs: the duty of public reporting in public administration

Public reporting is a requirement for public affairs practitioners in public administration because of the democratic context in which government operates. By reporting to the public‐at‐large on agency activities, government agencies contributed to an informed citizenry, the essential foundation of a democracy. For public affairs in business administration and non‐profit administration, public reporting is desirable rather than mandatory. Public reporting was traditionally accomplished indirectly, through news media coverage of government. However, recent research suggests a diminution of interest by the media in fulfilling its role as an instrument of democracy. This means that the public reporting obligation of public affairs professionals in public administration needs to shift to direct reporting, through such products as annual reports, newsletters, TV programmes, Internet websites etc. Copyright © 2002 Henry Stewart Publications.     

The judiciary and post-election conflict resolution and democratic consolidation in Ghana’s Fourth Republic

ABSTRACT

In recent times most elections in Africa have been fraught with post-elections conflicts that have had dire consequences on citizens. Kenya, Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe are few of these cases. This makes post-election conflict resolution a very important aspect of the electoral process deserving enormous attention. However, extant literature has not accorded it the needed attention. It is as a result of this, that this study investigates the nature of post-election conflict resolution in Ghana’s Fourth Republic. The study, based on a qualitative case study approach, found among others that, the Courts have been instrumental in consolidating democracy in Ghana, and stakeholders are devotedly operating within the legal framework governing elections, despite logistical, law enforcement and justice delivery challenges. The study being conscious of the progress made over the years concludes that, where democratic institutions are consolidating, the use of unconventional means to resolve conflicts is usually not an option.     

What explains the rise of majority–minority tensions and conflict in Xinjiang?

ABSTRACT

In the past few years there has been a rise of inter-ethnic violence in China. While ethno-cultural repression and ineffective state policies are correctly attributed as key culprits behind this reality, this article suggests that socio-economic factors play a fundamental contributory role as well. Using the Xinjiang case, the article maps ethnic tensions and violence as a manifestation and expression of a growing and heightened ethno-cultural consciousness stemming from ethnic minorities’ low socio-economic status due, in part, to internal Han migration, and a labour market process – involving agency and structure – that has shaped a split and segmented labour market.     

The veterans’ gala: the use of tradition in an industrial labour conflict in contemporary Kazakhstan

ABSTRACT

Since its privatization in 1995, Kazakhstan’s largest steel mill has been in a restructuring process characterized by workforce reduction, augmented pressure on remaining jobs and labour conflict over wages, work conditions and corporate social responsibility. In 2013, in an attempt to re-establish harmonious relationships with workers, management invited the mill’s former labour aristocracy to join a newly established veterans’ council, a forum resembling traditional aksakal councils, to discuss the company’s difficult situation. In the context of a banquet in honour of the veterans, tradition became the contested terrain over which labour and capital struggled to endorse their own visions of the industrial future. As corporate capitalist visions of efficiency and professionalism, ethno-national concerns for harmony and stability, and practices rooted in the Soviet labour legacy clash, tradition is staged by actors as a practice which can either affirm or challenge industrial leadership in a labour conflict.
